As the first levels of democracy in the UK, Town & Parish Councils have many duties. Add to this the need for transparency and we are reminded that the often-overlooked website is a key part of a Council’s ability to carry out these duties in a compliant manner. Our Website framework/templates also offer the best value.

Parish/Town Council Websites Challenge
(The many tasks of a Parish or Town Councillor)
As the first level of democracy in the UK, Parish & Town Councils have many duties. Add to this the need for transparency and we are reminded that the often-overlooked website is a key part of a Council’s ability to carry out these duties in a compliant manner. Now with GDPR in place, securing and ensuring the privacy of that communication has become a potentially high risk for a Council’s budget. The packages offered here by TEEC take all this into account and provide the best value solution.
Challenging times, during the Covid-19 pandemic, has meant lots of additional information and support being needed and provided through things like the Parish Website. One advantage of using the template is the ability of clerks, councillors, and volunteers to all add content as almost no programming skill is needed to make 95% of all changes.
The Parish Council Websites Template was suggested by TEEC’s MD (Cllr Adrian Abbs B.Sc.) as a direct result of becoming a Parish Councillor for Greenham in 2018. Having seen the challenges that Parish Councils face, he commissioned the template, and to ensure a high-quality solution is available, he has setup within TEEC the hosting of this template, complete with a package of services available to anyone that needs it. The template is free to use for any Parish Councils or Community Project Teams, even if the hosting is with another company.

‘I
have just had a new website completed by TEEC’s - My Parish Council team and
the whole process and experience exceeded my expectations.
The
service was courteous, friendly and very prompt. The team I dealt with
developed an excellent understanding of my individual needs and concerns and
took personal responsibility for delivering what was promised in a very
friendly, supportive and business-like manner.
This
company is very easy to do business with, they get it right first time and I
have no hesitation in recommending their product and service.’
